| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 4 } \cdot \left( 4 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{4} \cdot 4 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{4} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 16 \sqrt{3} + 4 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 4 \sqrt{3}- \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 4 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot 4 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot 4 \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 48 + 4 \sqrt{15}- 4 \sqrt{15}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
